Dark Days: Part I

Death is everywhere, Hopelessness. Despair. Dark Days.

Fate has chosen her champions, and no one will expect what two children can do against the might of the Last God.

They don't know it yet, but they have one chance of winning. If Fate is on their side. If Fate is not killed first.

Kirkus Reviews calls Dark Days a “…consistently engrossing tale of somber, menacing worlds” featuring “the superbly developed” Ralen and Anjee, a young boy and girl, fighting to survive among merciless beings who would just as soon devour them. Among them is the strangely sympathetic Bringer of the Last God, Lady Dinah, a cunning demigod who senses ‘something I can’t define’ about her new captives.

Dinah, disgraced by near-defeat in her last battle, seeks to reclaim her place as Bringer, but the ‘specialness’ of Ralen is impossible to harness. His existence threatens her own power—and, perhaps, also the power of the Last God Himself.

Ralen and Angee don’t care that they are pawns, only that they stay alive and together. Yet, no matter how hard Ralen tries to secure his and Anjee’s safety, the future seems grim.
